No Appointments by Rogue Judges Act

House Votes

This bill changes how temporary U.S. Attorneys are chosen when there’s a vacancy. It would stop federal judges from appointing people to these jobs and instead tie how long a temporary U.S. Attorney can serve to the time limits in another federal vacancy law. In short, it aims to keep these appointments within the executive branch and on a set clock.

Key points:

• Who is affected: U.S. Attorneys’ offices, the Department of Justice, and federal court districts.
• What changes: Removes judges’ power to appoint interim U.S. Attorneys and updates the time limits for how long a temporary appointee can serve, linking them to section 3346.
• Why it matters: Aims to make temporary appointments more consistent and keep them under executive branch control.
